  "account": "New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani extended a Rosh Hashanah greeting to the city's Jewish residents, wishing them a happy new year filled with health, happiness, and blessings — and a Knicks championship. The message came as the mayor hosted 10 young Jewish children at City Hall for a traditional Rosh Hashanah celebration ahead of the holiday.\n\nIn the video, Mamdani asked the children how they observed the holiday, explaining the custom of dipping apples in honey to signify hopes for a sweet new year. The children shared their wishes for an exciting year ahead, including a jetpack, Moshiach (Messiah), and family. Mayor Mamdani expressed his own hopes, wishing for the Knicks to win consecutive championships and for every New Yorker to cherish life in the city, even adding a desire for Arsenal to win the Champions League.\n\nThe message was part of the beginning of Jewish High Holy Days, a period of reflection leading up to Yom Kippur, marking the start of the Jewish new year.",
